Women's Reform

How did mid-19th century american Society react yo women's demands for equality? Does 21st century society still react differently to men and women?

American society didn't give any attention to women's demand for equality in the mid-19th century and that is not right.  They all thought women were supposed to cook, clean, and take care of the children, basically they were like maids and had to wait on their husbands at every beckoning call.  For example the image below some of the things women had to do.  Making sure the house was cleaned, watching children, fixing broken items in the home, taking care of animals, helping children with school work, making clothes for family are just a few of many things women had to do.  They really didn't have many rights either.  They had to fight and earn everything they had.  You'd think after all they did they could at least be treated equal, but no they were still treated as the inferior race.  There were many women who protested for equality and many failed, but they kept fighting.  In my opinion women being trapped in the house is a waste of talent.  They could be changing the world and achieving their dreams but they're basically held back from doing what they want.  That is just demoralizing in my opinion.  Luckily after many hard fought campaigns and protests women are equal with men and that's the way it should be.  

In the 21st century I feel like people still act differently to men and women.  There are definitely still some stereotypes of women.  For example many people always think of the women staying home with the children and having too cook and clean.  For example in many baby commercials it's always a mom and her baby and that;s not always the case.  The world has had a substantial change in a good way also.  Women have just as many rights as men and can do everything they can.  I also believe a women hasn't been elected president because some people still believe that a woman couldn't run our country but I believe they are just as capable as men.  Also I believe we will have a woman leading our country and that will be a huge step in destroying those stereotypes.  

As a nation we have made tremendous strides in woman equality.  I have a great amount of respect for women that stand up for their rights.  Women were treated very poorly and that is just not okay and I am glad we made a change.  Women are treated equal today and that is the way it should be.  Women deserve everything they have and they deserve equal right also.
